Hello everyone and welcome.

My name is Jenna Rose Genetti Kendall and I am a developmentalist specialist and a mama to the most beautiful little boy in the whole entire world.

Before being a mama,

I prided myself as a love coach,

Helping people to heal their trauma,

Heal their pain and tap into unconditional love.

And while I still hold that identity,

I am much bigger,

I am much wider now as I have stepped into this new identity of mama.

My bachelor's degree is in early childhood development and I am spending my time and my attention being solely present with my son right now as he is so little.

And I know I'm not going to take and get this time back.

And so I have shifted my perspective,

I've shifted my desires and my greatest desire right now is to be a full-time,

Full-on,

Hands-on mama.

And so I am taking off the hat of a love coach.

I am pulling back and descaling from that business to focus on being a mama.

And what that means is being a mama and helping other mamas in their children's development.

I'm playing with this.

I'm having fun with this.

I don't know where it's going to go,

But I'm going to take you on the journey with me.

So as I stated,

I have a little boy,

His name is Zephyr and he is seven months old and he is the joy of my world.

And my plan is to make several videos,

Just taking you on the journey with you,

Taking you on the journey with me through parenthood,

Teaching you,

Educating you,

And also being a student and asking for your opinion and your advice on this journey of motherhood.

And so I plan to talk about things like potty training your newborn,

Cloth diapers,

Sleeping through the night,

Sleep,

Exclusive breastfeeding,

Co-sleeping,

Crawling,

Walking,

All of that fun stuff.

And before I get into those big topics,

I want to start the foundation of this new found identity of mine of talking about childhood development by talking about what I believe is the most important,

Important foundational piece about being a parent and what,

In my opinion,

Makes a great parent and what every single parent needs to hold.

Because the truth is our child doesn't need us to provide a luxurious financial life for them.

There's only simple things that they need.

And so I want to provide that for you by telling you what I believe to be true.

And so I invite you to take what resonates and to throw away what doesn't resonate.

But in a world where mamas and dads are so focused on providing financially for their child,

While that is important,

There's more important things in my belief system that parents should provide.

And so that's what we're going to be talking about today.

And so the very first thing I want to talk about is what I have come to as my piece,

My piece of parenthood,

What every parent needs to provide for their child,

And a little extra bonus at the end.

And so first off,

Provide presents,

Presents right now.

It's almost Christmas.

We're 10 days away from Christmas.

It is December 15 2025.

And the greatest present that you can give your child is the gift of your presence,

Being fully consciously present with them,

Being on the floor with them,

Talking to them,

Playing with them,

Not on your phone,

Taking this pee away,

Take this pee,

The pee your phone,

And put it away from your child.

You do not need to be on your phone.

I'm getting strict,

I'm getting stern.

What did people do before there was these handy dandy devices?

They had no choice but to be fully present with their child.

And I know it's not always easy,

But it is essential,

Essential,

Not only with our children,

But in every single relationship that we have to be fully present with the ones that we love to heal them to listen to them to play with them to be with them.

So the first thing to provide is presence.

Second,

Provide purpose.

There are so many people walking around who are not purposeful parents.

They are not parents with a purpose.

They are not making parenthood their purpose.

And I'm going to rob a lot of people the wrong way by saying this.

But if you are going to be a parent,

If you're going to choose to be a parent,

You need again,

I'm gonna rub you the wrong way.

You need to make parenthood your purpose.

You need to make raising your child your soul,

Soul and soul purpose.

Be a purposeful parent.

Parent with purpose.

Make it your purpose to be a parent and make every single day that you wake up with your child have a purpose have a intention that you want to set in your day with your child.

Make it a purposeful day.

Make it a purposeful life.

Parent with purpose.

Three,

Provide patience.

Patience,

Patience,

Patience,

Being calm,

Being cool,

Being collected.

And I know so many parents,

You sometimes will lose your cool,

You'll lose your patience,

And that's okay.

It happens.

But getting back up and recognizing that your child is where your child is at,

And that they're not going to be there and be here forever.

If your child is feeling fussy,

Or they're not sleeping,

Or they're throwing a temper tantrum,

Be patient.

Being patient means recognizing that they're not going to be here forever.

Enjoy.

Try to find enjoyment in them not sleeping.

Knowing that one day they won't be sleeping under your roof.

One day they're going to be grown up and you're going to miss those days of rocking them to sleep,

Nursing them to sleep.

This exhaustion that you feel right now as a parent is not going to last forever.

So before you can be patient with your child,

You have to first be patient with yourself.

And that comes with recognizing that this is a season of your life.

Allow your child to explore.

Be in the observation mode and be patient with them.

4.

Provide passion.

Be passionate.

This goes hand in hand with purpose.

But I believe that to be a parent,

You need to be passionate about being a parent.

Make it your life's passion.

And if you don't find passion in being a parent,

Then learn.

Learn to make it your passion.

Find something about parenting that you love.

Whether that's playing Legos with your child,

Or playing outside,

Or showing your child your passions.

Providing passion.

Being passionate about your child's growth.

Being passionate about your child's development.

Being passionate about your child and you being a parent is essential in providing for your child.

5.

Provide play.

Play,

Play,

Play,

Play,

Play.

The truth is,

And as a love coach I've realized this,

So many grown-ups are walking around and they're unhappy.

And the reason in which they are unhappy is because the grown-ups,

The adults,

They learned to stop playing.

As a child,

All life is is play.

Everything is play.

And the truth is this life.

I'm going to get metaphysical.

I'm going to get,

You know,

I'll woo-woo with you because that's who I am.

This life that we are living is nothing more than a play.

You are the core character.

You are the main character in your life.

And you have hired all of these other actors,

Even your child,

You've hired them to play a role in your play,

In your movie,

In your book,

In your sitcom.

It is a play that this life existence is.

And as a child,

You are awakened.

You remember the soft spot on the child's head.

The reason that there's still that soft spot on a woo-woo metaphysical is because they are channeling energy from spirit into that soft spot,

Into their consciousness.

And they know that this life is a play.

And the way in which you act in the play is by playing.

They are literally playing.

So allow,

Be open,

Create space for your child to play.

And even more so for you to play.

Play with your child.

Play house.

Play Legos.

Play outside.

Children role play.

There will be a place in development where your child will play mommy.

They'll play daddy.

They'll play firefighter.

They'll play cook.

They're playing different characters.

And this is your opportunity to provide play.

It's so important.

And last P is provide a path for them.

Provide a path.

Don't choose the path.

Allow them to choose the path,

But allow all paths to be open.

Allow and hold space for them to walk down the path of maybe one day they want to be a parent.

Maybe they want to be an engineer.

Maybe they want to be a hippie living in a desert in Sedona.

I've walked down that path.

And knowing that one path,

Once they walk down,

They may decide halfway through the path that this is not the path that I want to walk down in my life.

And creating a path back home for them to come back home to you to then re-examine,

Re-establish,

Rediscover what path they want to walk down in their life.

Walking down the path of Christianity or Buddhism or whatever it is,

Creating this open path for them to explore and also allowing the path home to always be open.

I truly believe at the core of my being,

I have this belief system.

And I want you to comment below if this resonates with you.

But I believe that every single time we are about to make a new leap in our life,

Whenever we're about to make a quantum change or a quantum shift,

Whether we realize it or not,

We often have to return home back to our roots.

No matter how old you are,

There's this point where you have to return home back to your roots to remember your roots to then walk down the next path that you need to walk down.

So providing a path for your child's dreams,

Providing a path to your child's greatest life that they want to live for the play of life.

Create a path,

Not teaching them,

But guiding them and walking down the path with them.

So many parents allow the path to be open.

But parents see that that path that their child is walking down is not their path.

And so what parents do the mistake that parents make that I see is they watch their child going down this other path that they haven't yet walked upon.

And they judge them believing that that's the wrong path because I walk this path.

Instead of holding their hand,

Walking down that path with them and allowing their child to show them that path that they have walked down to help them to realize why they've chosen that path.

I believe in every cell of my body that there was no right path.

There was no wrong path.

There is only the path that is right and wrong for you.

And as parents,

It is our job to keep this path open,

But not to tell our child what path to take to explore that path with them and to allow explanation,

Allow exploration,

Exploration.

So my,

The piece to provide the only thing that you need to provide,

You don't need to provide millions.

What you need to provide is presence,

Purpose,

Patience,

Passion,

Play,

The path.

And lastly,

The most important thing to provide of all is unconditional love.

That one's not a P,

But it's even more important.

Unconditional love.

This is my belief system.

This is what I believe every parent needs to provide for their child.

If you enjoyed this,

Please comment below what you enjoyed and let me know below what other topics you would like for me to talk about.

So some of the topics I have in the back of my consciousness to do is potty training your infant.

My little boy is seven months old and he makes all poops on the potty.

Cloth diapers,

Sleeping through the night,

Sleeping in general,

Exclusive breastfeeding.

Right now I am in the process of weaning my child off nursing to sleep and allowing him to self-soothe on his own.

Another topic is co-sleeping,

Crawling,

Walking,

All of that fun stuff.

Let me know if any of those topics interest you.

And if there's any other topics,

Let me know.

Like I said,

I am playing with this idea of moving into early childhood development and coaching on early childhood development.

I don't know if this is the path that I'm going to continue on or if this is just a path for now.

So all of your input,

All of your insights,

If you like this,

If you didn't like this,

Please,

Please,

Please give me your feedback either way because when I have your feedback,

It's going to help me to figure out which path to take.

I love you guys so much.

I am generous Janani Kendall,

A mama to the most beautiful little boy in the world,

A childhood development and a unconditional love coach on a mission to help everyone on this planet to heal and to tap into unconditional love.

I hope this helps.
